Subject: [PATCH] xs: set read_thread stacksize
Date: Tue, 29 May 2012 16:56:40 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0cf61ed6ce86de2b61db.1338307000@drall.uk.xensource.com> (raw)

xs_watch() creates a thread to wake watchers using default attributes. The
stacksize can be quite large (8 MB on Linux), applications that link against
xenstore end up having a larger memory footprint than necessary.

Signed-off-by: Simon Rowe <simon.rowe@eu.citrix.com>
